Sex Positions When Your Partner is on Top

WHEN IT COMES to sex positions, cowgirl usually ranks among people’s top favourites. It’s simple, and offers the person on top control over their motions and sensations.

One study in Sexual Medicine found that “face to face/female above” was one of people’s top three most frequently used positions, and the more women had sex in this position, the more frequently they orgasmed.

For those who don’t know, the cowgirl position is essentially when someone with a vulva straddles their partner, who is lying down on the bed.

‘Cowgirl is a popular position for many women and indeed men, and it’s easy to understand why,’ says Anna Richards, sex educator and founder of the erotic ethical porn site FrolicMe. ‘Even just the name sums up the fun and control of straddling up your lover for a hot orgasmic ride.

Ultimately, the position is perfect for allowing the woman on top to be in command of the moment and in full control of the action as she quite literally rides her partner to her satisfaction.’

1) Classic Cowgirl

How to do it: The giver lies on their back. The receiving partner straddles them, sitting on them like they’re riding a horse. The receiving partner’s knees and shins are pressed to the bed.

Why it’s good: The receiver gets to take control. They can also tilt back or forward, controlling the depth of penetration and potential G-spot stimulation. Classic cowgirl is also great if the giver’s penis is on the smaller side.

2) Squatting Cowgirl

How to do it: It’s similar to cowgirl, only instead of the receiving partner straddling the giver, they have their soles planted on the bed in a squatting position.

Why it’s good: With this position, the giver can grab their partner by the butt and thrust deep. So even though the receiver is on top, the giver is in control of the speed and motion. Squatting cowgirl is also optimal for bringing in toys. We’d suggest bringing in a bigger toy with a long handle (like a Magic Wand) so the receiver can rest their elbows on their knees while still stimulating their clitoris.

3) Reverse Cowgirl

How to do it: This one’s just like the classic cowgirl, however, instead of the receiving partner facing the giver, they’re facing away from them.

Why it’s good: It’s all booty, right in the giver’s face.
